New world record for letting bees crawl all over you

Last wednesday, beekeeper She Ping covered himself with 331,000 bees to claim the world record from Ruan Luangming. As 33.1kg of insects crowded around his body and face, She Ping's eyes and mouth were kept clear by an incense-waving apprentice. Photo: REUTERS/China Daily

Cause some other guy got less bees on them and this dude was like, psssh, only 200,000 bees? I could get at least another 100,000 on me. It’s like being at the #1 spot on the high score table for World’s Best Beekeeper.

I was going to ask the same thing. The bees I can handle, the long fingernails on a dude skeeves me out. I have no idea why. Maybe cause they’re not clean. Reminds me of homelessness, drugs and despair.

In some cultures, the *original* idea was, if you were wealthy, you did no manual labor and could grow such nails. If you were poor, you did hard labor and such nails were impossible to grow. It’s gone from that to simply being fashionable now.

i am please to announce that after years of intense daily training, i am tied for the world record of NOT letting any bees crawl on me. there are currently ZERO BEES on my body. i am at the top of my game.
